I do love it when a cafe opens in Oakleigh and there isn't a souvlaki in sight!…read more This little cafe would be more at home in Fitzroy, but I am SO glad it's opened its doors in this meat heavy suburb. Menu is a great mix of brunch staples, a delicious variety of salads that keeps things interesting and some awesome looking sandwiches that are all reasonably priced and super fresh. They even cater for the kidlets with proper (non-processed) chicken nuggets. You can grab a lunch deal for $14 which changes regularly and includes a main and drink. Yesterday's chicken salad and freshly squeezed orange juice hit the spot perfectly.

Summary: Clearly one of the best breakfast and brunch places in Melbourne. Super classy. Lovely…read morespace with terrific inside and outside areas. Good menu here with excellent healthy and not so healthy dishes available depending on your inclination. Superior coffee served here as well. Great place. Highly recommended. Review The class starts here at the front door. Wait til you see it. It's amazing. It leads to a stunning space inside. The space has high ceilings and stark white walls. There's beautiful greenery throughout the cafe with a number of oversized hanging baskets with cascading philodendrons. It's a lovely look and it doesn't stop there. There's a wonderful courtyard out the back as well. It was a stunning spot on a sunny day like today. There's several nice areas out there. The one I'd go for would be on the side bench with a view through to the adjacent park. It looked amazing. I started today with a silky long black. They serve mighty coffee here. Superior beans are used and the brew is expertly made. We started our meal with cauliflower fries which were simply amazing. They were piping hot with a lovely peppery flavour that we both really enjoyed. I love cauliflower but would never have believed it could taste this good. The fries were incredible. We shared two main dishes. Both were excellent and both were large. The first was a pumpkin salad with kale. It's a great dish for sharing. The pumpkin is creamy and superbly cooked. The dish includes finely chopped kale, chopped almonds, avocado and sesame seeds among other things. We loved it. It's very tasty with great textures. Similarly, the southern fried chicken bao is a cracking dish. The chicken is gorgeous. It's so tender and clearly good quality meat. Add lovely pickled cabbage, sriracha aoli and chilli and lime cashews wrapped in a thrillingly soft bao and you've got a real winning dish. It was fantastic. My partner finished with a flat white which had some very cute coffee art. Like me, she declared the coffee to be superb. We were so impressed with Fourth Chapter. As I said in the summary above, this is clearly up there with the very best breakfast and brunch places in Melbourne. Our sincere thanks to Costa for the kind invitation to dine here today. Our thanks too to his excellent staff.

The ornate white front door can tell a story of its own, having remained through at least the last…read morethree tenancies, however the star of this story is owner Sarah Jane Whitfield and her fourth cafe. In partnership with her chef sister Jessica, Fourth Chapter has begun. Upon passing through the door there is an immediate feeling of home, but not your home, someone else's grand home that you wish you had. The high ceiling, white painted walls, light timber furnishings and an array of hanging basket plants provide a bright, clean atmosphere with a light touch of modernism. There is also an element of colour theming with yellow and white cups and plates. Seating is limited, which adds to the cosy vibe, with a handful of small tables, front window bar seating and a large group table in the middle. A small courtyard out the back provides some more small tables and a bench overlooking the neighbouring Victoria Gardens. The food menu is extensive with all day breakfast and lunch after 11am. There is a balanced mix of both healthy and slightly less healthy, treaty choices with a number of vegetarian, vegan, dairy free and gluten free options. Highlights include the acai bowl with optional whey protein, smashed avocado with pesto and saganaki, beetroot and cheddar waffles, sweet potato nachos, southern fried chicken baos and pulled beef brisket cheeseburger. The southern fried chicken baos with pickled cabbage and sriracha aioli are simple perfection with a well balanced mix of crunch, tang and spice. Coffee is by Niccolo with a blend and single origin available with soy, almond or coconut milk. Golden, matcha and Prana Chai lattes are also on offer. Tea is a selection from Mayde along with a range of smoothies and kombucha. For something different and artistic, there is the Sisko hot chocolate - a sphere of chocolate that melts as you pour hot chocolate over it to reveal a marshmallow inside. Fourth Chapter is off to a strong start and is one to watch as the story continues to be written.

I've followed them from their beginnings in 2016. I literally have lunch everyday at MM (yes we…read moreeven gave them a nickname just between my family members), and at this moment this place is an absolute rip off. They keep modifying their menu and raising the price and don't tell you if you're being charge for an item at the point of order. I used to have my schnitz 19.00, and they've removed it and replaced it with a parma 21.50. And although they say they can still prepare a schnitz you get charged a Parma. Not only that, they'd ask if I'd like ham? And stupid of me to assume that I'd get it for free and so the bill came up to $25. They also keep burning my Schnitz and soft shell crab. I've moved on to Via Porta, just 3 doors up the road. Absolutely no customer loyalty. Zero out of 5. I'm glad you are reading this Christina, Dennis, James and Chris. Yes you did burn my Schnitz more than 10 times. I let the first three burns go but on the fourth one I brought to Dennis's attention. Did you know that Christina? Where were you? Did you change? NO! For the next year or two you continue to burn the Schnitz. I had to tell Sherika every single week to bring to the chef's attention and in return she got abused by the chef. And if she ever got fired because of my telling I'd be taking you lot to FAIRWORK. And why shouldn't my comments be consistent across all social media platforms? What kind of comments are you hoping to solicit from me? If there are any positive ones on my behalf it would have to date back to 2016, did you not read my Zomato comments? Or do you have selective reading and chose to ignore facts? If your loyal customers are so important to you, then what's our names? Why won't you sit down and talk to us? Guess you're too busy for all that minor stuff. Your sense of entitlement to a comment just because we are loyal customer is show of your arrogance and superiority. Here's a fact: WE DON'T OWE YOU ANY COMMENTS, POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE! Get over it. Most businesses will try and remedy a negative reviewing customer, but not YOU! I guess you think you are above everyone else, and thanks I've been enjoying VIA PORTA very much. My second issue with you guys is honesty. I ordered the Parma and lo and behold it came but without the aioli and tomato sauce. It took me 15 minutes to register and so I brought to James's attention and guess what was the response? "We had to remove it due to lack of space". At that point I was just disgusted! Well done Christina! BRAVO! So much for "we are not trying to trick you" or "it is all listed in the menu".
